Forgive the photo, when I tried to screenshot, it changed to "this field cannot be left blank"

Luckily I’m born on 07/07/2007 — finally my superpower comes into play.

Are you agent 777?

Jackpot, they call them.

Already a better origin story than many other superheroes or supervillains.

Oh. I'm 7/7/79. If I was two years earlier...

This is why I don't get why the 9th of November is such a big deal.

Are you kidding? They opened the Berlin Wall!

That's a trick, it's actually ISO 8601.

ah the classic html date input matches your browser localization not whatever the dev was doing

I think there's sauce on your screen.

Just register on the day that matches the month.

01.01.1970. Timestamp zero for the win.

Error: Please enter your birthdate

the dev forgot that 0 !== undefined :D

Differences in locale between developer and user. They didn't really need to give a date format if they use a input type of date.
